- Today we’re talking about the solar panels I have mounted on the north wall that last year used to be vertical at a 90° angle and this year are at a 45° angle to see if we can get better solar production.  we will be using the solar panels to run the pool pump at 1400 RPM and the 17,000 BTU pool heater during the day using solar and at night time using grid. Running overnight will cost around $1.50 a day and $45-$50 a month on my electric bill, that’s not bad for running the pool pump and the pool heater and keeping my pool at 88 to 89° all winter long. So 12 hours using solar and 12 hours on grid power. You will need to have a pool solar cover as well. We purchased these solar panels used for $25 each. The solar panels have water intrusion and discoloration on face of panel but is not affecting my production. I was able to get 2200 watts out of a possible 3000 watts total output. Not bad for $300 in used solar panels. I bought the pool heater a few years ago refurbished for $1200. We will be able to keep or pool heated over the winter in Phoenix AZ at around 88-89 degrees for around $50 a month in electric cost. Hope you enjoy the video. Hope you have a wonderful and blessed day.

looks like Vegas back there :)
Well we are only 6 hours away from Vegas.
I wish my wife would let me do what you have done although I read a thread on DIY solar forum other day guy was fined $1000 by the city after some solar installers working on a neighbor's roof reported him to the city for having an unpermitted solar system. I could totally see that happening here in Phoenix where solar installers are up on roofs all the time. I have been looking into a permitted system holy cow APS has so many rules and regulations even worse than the city they make you use inverters and batteries off the California energy commission website list. Not sure but I know SRP requires meter for battery so they can monitor how much power is going to and from the battery even in your own home. I know why they want to make it as expensive as possible, so less people install solar. My bill is getting so high now I'm going to try installing 12 panels make it look legit from the roof and do a transfer switch move some circuits off. Worse case I get fined also at 54 years old I've learned better to ask for forgiveness then open a can of worms with a permit.
My completely off grid solar is split up into 5 separate systems. No solar on roof and no solar connected to the grid at all. Wish you the best in your quest to lower your electric bill. Hope you have a wonderful and blessed week
@@diy-solar-guy I know but anything electrical in a house has to be permitted no matter what even connecting a light fixture in a garage. My plans are to keep the inverter in a shed if it ever burns up my max loss is the shed. I know homeowners won't cover any non-UL certified non permitted inverter in a house.
Sir you math is a little off. the main pool heater being 7500Watts is NOT 180 amps. OHMs law for a resistive load is 7500 watts divided by 240 volts is 31.25amps. which is still very expensive. Your house would have to have a 400 to 600 AMP service to support a 180 amps heater and that would cost a lot.
I agree with the formula, when I run the heater, my 12,000 watt low frequency off grid Growatt inverter will show 120 amps being used and I also supplement it with a EG4 charge controller that shows 66 amps supplied to the batteries of my 25.5 EG4 LiFePO4 battery bank. My battery will show 54.0 volts on Growatt inverter as welll. The 120 amps on Growatt output is straight from the solar panels. Without the charge controller adding the 66 amps, the battery bank will discard very fast. Once again I agree with the formula. Just stating what inverter says while running unit. Thank you so much for your comment. Hope you have a wonderful and blessed day
could you use a thermal pool cover to keep pool warm
I use a pool solar cover to keep heat in while heating pool and to hold heat overnight. Only last 2-3 years max. But really need solar pool cover to heat pool with heat pump. Can now heat pool with 100 percent solar power. Thanks for the comment and hope you have a wonderful and blessed 2024
How much watts pv can the growatt 12kw take
I only had 12,000 watts connected, but I know I can not get 12,000 watts input from that with line loss and solar panel position. The hard part is I have to keep my pv input voltage below 150 dc volts. The max I have been able to use is around 8000 watts out of that 12,000 watt input. I guess could actually add maybe another 2000 watts and still be ok.
Pappa what heating ur home in the winter do u use solar & have a video on it
We have 4 mini splits installed in home, 2 upstairs and 2 downstairs. We also have our 3 1/2 ton and 4 ton whole house ducted heat pumps. We can run any of these or a combination of these with solar in day and 25.5 kWh LiFePO4 battery bank overnight. We can also run any of these on the grid as well if we needed to. We have videos on these as well as what we had to do to connect to off grid inverters. We had to run wire and conduit to all of these heat pumps so we could run on off grid solar. That is how we cool and heat our 2 story 2450 sq foot house. We also air condition and heat our garage year round during the day with solar. Videos on all this on channel. Thanks for the question and hope you have a wonderful and blessed day
@diy-solar-guy I think I've seen all ur videos but most was on the cooling of ur home I just went threw them again I don't believe I see a dedicated video on heating with ur heat pumps just cooling videos..
@diysolaradventures7894 I will have to do more videos on heating.
@diy-solar-guy ok thanks yea this me Joe in Toledo Ohio these clouds are doing a number on me it's cold & it sucks but my Senville mini split still running strong I'm now using it for heating
@diysolaradventures7894 Nice your mini split is still working well. You get so much cloud cover in the North East. Definitely need to have more solar panels and production in very cloudy areas.
